You gotta love the French. Does any country make itself so easy to mock? Jacques Chirac lashed out at President Bush for urging the E.U. to get cookin' on Turkey's entry to the E.U:

"If President Bush really said that the way I read it, well, not only did he go too far but he went into a domain which is not his own," Chirac told reporters at the summit.

"It is like me trying to tell the United States how it should manage its relations with Mexico," he added.

Actually, I think it's more like telling the United States how it should manage relations with Iraq. Or, better yet, telling Poland or the Czech Republic how to manage relations with America & Iraq. But Chirac wouldn't do that. Or would he?:

The French president, in an unusually emotional outburst in Brussels after the European Union meeting on Monday about Iraq, derided the Central and Eastern European countries that have signed letters expressing their support for the American policy on Iraq for being "badly brought up," and having missed "an opportunity to keep quiet."

What's French for "hypocrisy"?
